Song Yuehua started preparing for this year's Dragon Boat Festival early and bought five kilograms of glutinous rice from the county town a few days ago.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Dabao got up early in the morning to help wash the rice dumplings leaves.
Duck egg yolks, red bean paste, rice dumplings leaves, soaked glutinous rice, all the ingredients are ready.
"Okay, let's start making rice dumplings." Song Yuehua clapped her hands.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Dabao ran to open it. It was Liu Xue and Bai Shu who came.
The two men inserted the mugwort they brought on the door, and put the rubbed and dried mugwort on the table.
"Master, why didn't you call me when you were making the rice dumplings?" As soon as Liu Xue came in, she dragged a stool over and sat down, and was about to take the rice dumpling leaves.
Song Yuehua stopped him immediately, "Have you washed your hands?"
"Washed." Liu Xue stretched out her hands for Song Yuehua to see.
"Wash again."
Liu Xue snorted, "Master, you despise me."
Song Yuehua didn't tolerate it either, "I just dislike you. You just touched the stool and grabbed it. You are too rude."
Liu Xue could only roll up her sleeves and go to the water tank to fetch water to wash her hands.
Bai Shu, who was about to help make rice dumplings, looked at his hands and went over to wash them too.
The four of them gathered together and just as they wrapped a few, Song Yuehua drove Bai Shu and Dabao away.
I don't know what these two people are packing, they are here to cause trouble.
Not long after the noise subsided, Madam Xia and Master Yi came over from next door holding a jar of wine.
"Happy Dragon Boat Festival, does your family have realgar wine?"
Song Yuehua exclaimed, "I actually forgot about this."
"It doesn't matter. I bought a lot here." Madam Xia put down the wine she brought and added realgar wine to it. "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go around the house and sprinkle some realgar wine around to kill the insects and ants."
"I'll help you make the dumplings."
Master Yi washed his hands and rolled up his sleeves to make zongzi. He saw Dabao and Baishu staring at him and asked, "You two are so free, why don't you come and help?"
Song Yuehua said hurriedly, "No, no, their hands and feet are the same."
Master Yi wrapped it up slowly and leisurely.
Dabao stood by and watched, thinking it was amazing, "Master Yi's hands are really skillful."
Bai Shu deeply agreed.
After Lady Xia sprinkled the realgar wine in the room, she used the remaining realgar to make a dot on the middle of Dabao's forehead, chanting, "Peace and happiness, no illness or disaster..."
After ordering for Dabao, Madam Xia came over to Baishu and said, "Xiaoshu, come here. I'll order one for you too."
After only one look at Dabao, Bai Shu was so scared that he took two steps back, "Master, Master's wife, I need to go to the toilet."
Then he disappeared in a flash.
Lady Xia, "..."
Dabao, with the realgar mark on his head, ran to Song Yuehua and Liu Xue and pointed at their heads and asked, "Sister, does it look good?"
"It looks good." Liu Xue said with a smile.
Song Yuehua wiped off the yellow marks that slid down his brow, pinched the flesh on his face and said, "It looks very good."
After a while, Granny Wang and Granny Mu also arrived, carrying a large basket of meat, vegetables and pastries.
Song Yuehua quickly wiped her hands and carried Grandma Mu's wheelchair in.
"Xiaoyu has gone home for the holidays, Xiaoyu and Xiaobao are not here, and we two old ladies wanted to come over to liven things up for you guys, but we didn't expect everyone to come."
Granny Wang gave an embroidered sachet to everyone present as she spoke.
Song Yuehua asked, "Why didn't Shitou and Xiaomian come over?"
"They are playing at Ji's house and won't come over." Grandma Wang hung a sachet on Song Yuehua's waist.
Song Yuehua took an empty basket, put the wrapped dumplings into the basket, and called Dabao.
"I'm busy here, you give this basket of rice dumplings to Grandma Xi, tell her that it's a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and tell her that Grandma Wang and Grandma Mu are having dinner at our house, and then call Brother Shitou and Sister Xiaomian over."
"This is too troublesome. The food is ready at home. Let's go back and eat." Granny Wang stopped him hurriedly.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Grandma, don't be different from me no matter who you are."
After saying that, Song Yuehua pushed Grandma Mu's wheelchair to the table and said, "Grandma Mu, please help me pick some vegetables and have lunch with me at my house."
Song Yuehua placed a basket of vegetables in front of her.
"Then I'll shamelessly bother you," Grandma Mu said with a smile.
Song Yuehua also smiled and said, "I wish so."
Grandma Wang was accompanied by Xiaomian and Shitou, but Grandma Mu was alone. Tangyuan had not come back either. After a careful count, Zhou Xiaohu and Zhang Rushan had not come back either.
Liu Xue asked towards the back, "Today is a holiday, how come no one came back except Zhang Dandan?"
Song Yuehua said, "Tangyuan needs to look after the shop. Zhang Rushan just happened to have a case to be heard in court. Zhou Xiaohu stayed in You Mansion to cook and make zongzi for them."
Liu Xue kept moving her hands and sighed, "Tangyuan and Zhang Dandan are so ambitious. It doesn't matter if their shop closes for a day."
Granny Wang smiled and said to her, "You may not know this, but many customers have already placed orders for rice dumplings and sachets from them. Today's business is equivalent to several days' business on weekdays."
Liu Xue looked at the sachet that Granny Wang had just given her, "Is this the sachet?"
"That's right," Granny Wang said with a smile, "Not only do they sell goods in their store, but Xiao Cui also bought a lot of sachets from us and took them to the county to sell."
"Then the rice dumplings they sell are provided by Zhou Xiaohu?"
"Yes."
"So this is a business opportunity." Liu Xue finally reacted.
When Song Yuehua heard Xiao Cui, she also asked a question.
"Xiao Cui is selling sachets now?"
Granny Wang nodded and said, "That girl sells charcoal in winter, bamboo shoots in spring, and sachets and rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. I heard her say that the cotton planted at home is growing well, too. Life is getting better and better now."
